Check out oml in the lattice 3.10 manual.  This is an object module librarian
which allows the listing, extraction, and addition of object modules from
a given library.  I haven't used this utility but if it is anything like the
library file editors at work (functionally looks the same) why not extract
the object in question, rename it and replace it in the library.  It's a
little brut force for most, but in a pinch when you need both objects from
different libraries that have the same name it should work.  Can't say much
for compatablity with the anyone elses libraries though. Just wanted everyone
to know the 'half linker' does exist, at least for us lattice users.
